Hi there! I've been blogging with Blogger for quite a long time now. However, I keep hearing about how Wordpress is the way to go. Would love any advice or thoughts you may have on switching platforms. Thanks bunches! Erica www.falldowndressup.com

Self hosted WordPress gives you so much more control over ever aspect of your site. The issue with any third party provider is that they have control over everything. This means you are limited in what functions you can have on your site, as well as being at their mercy for things like site backups (IF they do that) or loosing the service (service provider changes/ends service, deletes your blog for "REASONS", etc). IF you want to grow your blog, monetize it, etc self hosted is the way to go.
WordPress is easy to use and also offers you thousands of themes and plugins (free and paid) to give your site any functions you might want (from an Instagram widget to full e-commerce capabilities), so there is really no limit to what you can do with it. There is also a huge pool of designers and developers who can help you customize further.
